How do Amazon handle preorder pricedrops on existing orders? I preordered when it was 35, still showing as 35 in my account too.

The price will change within 48 hours

Ah that makes sense, I actually just spoke on Live Chat and they updated the order for me now, so it's showing at £31.99 :) What I don't want to happen is for it to only be 31.99 for say a day or so, then my order never updates.

"What sets Hyrule Warriors apart is that characters are able to equip different weapons with entirely different move sets before heading out to battle. Instead of just being a different skin with different stats like most Warriors games, the new weapons open up totally new play styles in combat. For example, Link with a Fire Rod plays completely differently than Link with a conventional sword and shield."

However, it is essentially a Dynasty Warriors game rather than a Legend of Zelda game so much of the gameplay mechanics of the Warrios series remain but with some Zelda-flavoured innovations - "the addition of sub-items found in mini-dungeons on the battlefield changes the way levels are completed in a number of ways. For example, the bombs in the mine section of Hyrule Field can be used to destroy giant boulders blocking the path towards the castle, and they can be thrown into the mouth of the aforementioned King Dodongo a la Ocarina of Time during a climactic boss battle at the end of the stage."

From Amazon's pre-order confirmation page...

The pessimist in me thinks that weapon set feature is purely because they don't have enough characters to cover what would otherwise be 'weapon sets' in the Warriors games, what with their huge range of characters. Maybe I'm wrong though. I'm still preordering, looks fun :) I pretty much pick up every exclusive on the WiiU, I like to support it.

flubit do require payment straight away which is the only downside but if your happy to save £3 or so and order now than they are good to use, do NOT hold your breath with flubbit sending it for the day of release though, ive used them about 10 times and only once did a game arrival on the release date, usually its 3/5 days afterwards
